PROGRAMS Rice / Pasta Rice / Pasta Express Boil Steam Fry Bake Stew / Slow Cook Reheat Keep Warm Tips for Rice / Pasta Thoroughly wash the rice in several changes of water and drain. You may need to adjust the amount of water added. For softer rice or pasta, add a little more water. A thin crust of rice may form on the base, particularly when cooking Italian or easycook type rice, or when cooking smaller quantities. Wiping half a teaspoon of oil over the base may help reduce this forming. Remove the rice / pasta when cooking has finished using a large draining spoon, as the bowl should only be removed once cooled. Rice / Pasta (Ideal for Indian Rice) 1 Press the MENU button until the dot appears next to RICE / PASTA, close the lid and press START A. 3 This program cooks rice or pasta in 40-50 mins, depending on the quantity of rice or pasta and water. The cook time will not appear on the display until the last 15 mins of cooking. Cooking Rice: Use the measuring cup to measure out the rice. For every one cup of rice, you need one cup of cold water. The maximum cups is 8. Transfer the rice to the bowl and add the equivalent cold water. This can be added using the measuring cup or using the rice water markings inside the bowl. For example, if 8 cups of rice are added, water should be filled to level 8. Cooking Pasta: Add the pasta according to recipe quantities and transfer to the bowl. Add enough cold water to cover the pasta. Program intellichef as explained above. Rice / Pasta Express (Ideal for Chinese sticky rice) Use the measuring cup to measure out pasta or rice. For every one cup of pasta or rice, you need one cup of cold water. Do not exceed the max water level indicated (marked 8). Press the MENU button until the dot appears next to the PASTA/RICE EXPRESS program, close the lid and press START B. B 2 Intellichef will bleep 4 times to indicate cooking has started and the red light will remain illuminated until cooking has finished. This occurs at the end of every set program.

48810 Rev1 22/10/08 13:08 Page 9 Tips for Stew / Slow Cook The STEW program cooks on a high heat for 1-4 hours whereas the SLOW COOK program cooks on a gentle heat for 5 10 hours. The SLOW COOK program is a great way to cook less-expensive cuts of meat such as stewing beef, which are tenderised through the long cooking process. Certain less-expensive cuts of meat may not therefore be suitable for the STEW program. To adjust, press the COOK TIME button and then the MINUTE button. The minimum time that can be set is 8 mins and the maximum is 25 mins O. Close the lid and press START O. O Make sure all frozen ingredients are well thawed out. Cut root vegetables into small even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat. They should be sautéed for 2-3 mins before slow cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the bowl and all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid. Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking to prevent grease gathering in the bowl. If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut down the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate to the same extent as with conventional cooking. Uncooked red kidney beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a slow cooker. Ensure food is thoroughly heated through before consuming. Keep Warm The KEEP WARM program will start automatically after cooking has finished and will keep food warm for 2 hrs. A red light will appear to indicate the KEEP WARM program is selected and the display will return to zero and will count up P. P Insert a meat thermometer into joints of roasts or hams to ensure they are cooked to the desired temperature. N Reheat Press the MENU button until the dot appears next to REHEAT. A default time of 25 mins will appear N. Press the OFF / KEEP WARM button to stop the KEEP WARM program. The red light on the START button will flash to indicate the appliance is now in standby. To resume the KEEP WARM program, press the OFF / KEEP WARM button again. We suggest that if food is not consumed within these two hours, it should be discarded.
